Mentone Girls' SC Year 7 and 8 Netball teams won their Regional round robins on August 5th. Both B teams won their round robin however there was not a State round robin for them, congratulations to those students. The Year 7 and 8 A teams went on and competed at the State round robins on August 31st, after a few close matches and a score change after the game both of the teams did not make it to the final. Well done to make it to the States, this is an incredible achievement. A big thank you to Mrs Mathews and Ms O'Hara, plus the student coaches - Tamika Sheehan, Emma Nicholson, Zoe Karamountzos, Emma Hawkless, Neave Harrison and Sam Gordon - for all their help in training the girls on countless lunchtimes.
